Return Reference Explanation
Part V: Transactions with related organizations, line 2(a)-(d), row (10) AARP and AARP Foundation, its affiliated charity, share mailing lists. AARP does not rent its mailing list to other organizations, so a fair market value of the benefit to the Foundation has not been established. The AARP list is much larger and thus presumably more valuable than the Foundation list. Moreover, the vast majority of names on the AARP Foundation list are already on the AARP list, as they are also AARP members.
